Hellow, may the LORD's peace be with you.
It's my understanding that they did so. (Also prophecieed in Ezekiel 37:1-14).
But I've come across Christians who don't believe that the modern straight of Israel is actually fulfilling end time prophecies (Jehovah's witnesses to be exact) and they say Isaiah 66:7,8 was fulfilled "when Cyrus the Great, authorized the return of the Jews to their homeland.—Ezra 1:2".
Ezra 1:2-3 NLT
[2] “This is what King Cyrus of Persia says: “The Lord, the God of heaven, has given me all the kingdoms of the earth. He has appointed me to build him a Temple
at Jerusalem, which is in Judah.
[3] Any of you who are his people may go to Jerusalem in Judah to rebuild this Temple of the Lord, the God of Israel, who lives in Jerusalem. And may your God be with you!
What is your understanding? The whole of Isaiah 66 looks eschatological to me!
Isaiah 66:7-8 NLT
[7] “Before the birth pains even begin, Jerusalem gives birth to a son.
[8] Who has ever seen anything as strange as this? Who ever heard of such a thing? Has a nation ever been born in a single day? Has a country ever come forth in a mere moment? But by the time Jerusalem’s birth pains begin, her children will be born.
